Dislike Button for MOD and Dev Posts Only

[Tsukino_Kaji]

A dislike button won't change anything, when people dislike an update or a nerf they voice their concerns and the devs ignore them, like they always have. All a dislike button will do is show the devs how many people they managed to piss off this week who were too annoyed to make an actual post.

Also think of it from the player base point of view. A lot of people just dont' read posts, but that same person that doesn't read anything could also see that people realy like or hate the idea. Devs/mods/reps may still ignore what people are saying, but a visual reminder of X dislikes, is a lot harder to just pass over.

42. It totally explains the 25 different arguments why your post is not very usefull.

Knowing why people oppose a certain change is important as well. It allows Camate & friends to reply to specific issues that have been raised. Sometimes a dislike is based on insufficient information.
Take RDM SP2 for example. It's utterly crap in the current game, because enfeebling is either useless or hits immunity. But they are changing immunities across the board in a future update. This might make the SP2 a valuable addition to the RDM arsenal. Might. If the devs know we are worried about this, they can give a targetted response, instead of wondering what x dislikes mean.

Yes, we are all aware of this, but we are also aware of the fact that a very large portion of these opposisions go unanswered regardless of the validity of their content. Adding a dislike button to dev posts wont negate the fact that people are posting anything. It'll add to what the devs are not seeing/reading/ignoring.
Also consider that a lot of these dev posts are in threads that cannot be replied to. Being able to see these values on an original post and not an offshoot thread would be helpful to everyone.
